>Environment:


	FreeBSD 5.0-DP1/floppies

>Description:

	(1)
	After two floppies loaded, neither "boot -c" nor the normal boot
	will stop for interactive configuration.
	The error message says that

		ACPI no autoload failed -- no such file or directory

	(2)
		ata is still forced to configure even though the BIOS
	has disabled IDE controllers.
		It is important to allow to disable IDE (ata0/1) to
	free more IRQ when SCSI disk is used, because current the PC
	motherboard has limited IRQs.

		If 5.0 will disbale interactive configuration mode,
	this becomes more important to read BIOS configuration info
	for auto-configuration.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Try 5.0-DP1 installation floppies.

>Fix:
